Manually Configuring the Monitor to Access the Deployment Environment (Magic xpi 3.x)

The Monitor lets you monitor all the activities that take place at deployment in the Magic xpi Server. The Monitor runs only on the Windows operating system. Although the Monitor is included in the Magic xpi Suite, you can install it on a different computer for use at deployment.

To ensure that the Monitor displays the information correctly:

Server and Monitor Installation

  • Make sure that the projects' ibp file, the folder name, and the %currentproject% and %currentprojectdir% entries in the ifs.ini file are identical (including case sensitivity).

  • Make sure that the Database configuration information in the ifs.ini (ifs.<project name> in IBM i) file is the same in the Monitor computer’s Magic.ini file. The configuration parameters are:

    • The Database identification (DB name for MySQL and DB2, Connect String for Oracle, and the ODBC Data source for databases connected with the ODBC protocol).

    • Server Name: The name of the machine where the Magic xpi Server is installed.

    • User: The user system name.

    • Password: The user’s password.

  • Copy the contents of the Project folders to the Magic xpi Monitor’s Project folder. Make sure not to change the names or structure of the files.

  • Make sure the date format in the [MAGIC_LOGICAL_NAMES] section of the Magic xpi Monitor’s Magic.ini file is the same as the format for the Magic xpi Server.

Monitor Only Installation

There are two options for Monitor configurations:

  1. If the project folder is not accessible to the Monitor, you can copy it locally as follows:

    • Make sure that the projects' ibp file, the folder name, and the %currentproject% and %currentprojectdir% entries in the ifs.ini file are identical (including case sensitivity).

  2. If the project is accessible on the network, the Monitor shows the projects based on the [MAGIC_IBOLT]MPSProjects entry in the ifm.ini file. The projects are run based on the %projects% environment variable. You can point the Monitor installation to the project folder as follows:

    1. Modify the [MAGIC_IBOLT]MPSProjects entry to point to the shared drive (\\10.1.1.6\projects).

    2. In the ifm.ini file, create a [MAGIC_LOGICAL_NAMES]projects entry and point to the same shared drive.

    3. Restart the Monitor to apply the settings.

Make sure that the Database configuration information in the Monitor installation (in the Magic.ini file) is the same as in the production server's Magic.ini file. The configuration parameters are:

  • The Database identification (DB name for MySQL and DB2, Connect String for Oracle, and the ODBC Data source for databases connected with the ODBC protocol).

  • Server Name: The name of the machine where the Magic xpi Server is installed.

  • User: The user system name.

  • Password: The user’s password.

Make sure the date format in the [MAGIC_LOGICAL_NAMES] section of the Magic xpi Monitor’s Magic.ini file is the same as the format for the Magic xpi Server.
